Off and Running

Reno City Council Presentation

Two days ago, we were pacing behind the presentation screen going through our scripts in our minds. Today, we’re trying to keep up with the overwhelming response. The community needed this more than we ever thought. It’s amazing.

Twenty minutes after the big presentation last Wednesday, we packed up and jetted around the corner to Reno’s City Hall.

We said, “Mr. Mayor we are out of time but we have more to show you.” He responded, “Please continue.” He and the Council were in. Validation.

Our second treatment featured one of Reno’s Big Movers. He literally moves mountains. Norm Dianda is not only the founder, but the heart and soul of Reno’s Q&D Construction.
